ITEM 1. BUSINESS
EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries ("EMC" or the
"Company") design, manufacture, market and support a wide
range of storage-related hardware, software and service
products for the mainframe, open systems and network
computer storage markets worldwide. These products are sold
as storage solutions for customers utilizing a variety of
computer system platforms, including, but not limited to,
International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") and IBM-
compatible mainframe, Unisys Corporation ("Unisys"),
Compagnie des Machines Bull S.A. ("Bull"), Hewlett-Packard
Company ("HP"), NCR Corporation ("NCR") and other open
systems platforms. EMC storage products provide solutions
for a wide range of customer disk storage requirements, from
the highest performance mission critical applications to
extremely high capacity business support applications.
The Company develops its products by integrating
technologically advanced, industry standard components and
devices with Company-designed proprietary hardware and
software technology. The Company's principal products are
based on Integrated Cached Disk Array ("ICDA") technology,
which combines high-speed semiconductor cache memory managed
by advanced caching algorithms, with industry standard disk
drives. These products include two families of Symmetrix
high speed ICDA-based storage systems, the Symmetrix 5000
(introduced in 1992) and the Symmetrix 3000 (announced in
June 1995), for the IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe, Unisys
and Bull mainframe, IBM AS/400 and open systems storage
markets.
The Company also designs, manufactures and markets the
Harmonix series of high speed ICDA-based systems for the IBM
AS/400 computer market, and the Centriplex family of ICDA
products for the open systems storage marketplace. In March
1996, the Company introduced its new Extended-Online Storage
("EOS") system. This product is unique in the computer
industry as a new tier of storage solution for high
capacity, business support applications.
Additionally, the Company markets tape back-up systems
and information management software for the mainframe, open
systems, IBM AS/400 and network storage markets. In March
1996, the Company introduced EMC Data Manager ("EDM"), an
integrated turnkey solution providing the highest
performance for network storage backup and recovery
requirements.
EMC also develops software products to enhance the
capabilities and value of EMC's storage solutions. These
software products are either optional EMC controller-based
or host-based software. Controller-based software resides
within the EMC system, while host-based software resides
within the customer's Central Processing Unit ("CPU").
Controller-based software is offered in both the
mainframe and open systems storage markets. Examples of this
software include: Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ("SRDF"),
providing customer solutions to requirements such as
disaster recovery and extended distance data center
migration; Symmetrix Data Migration Services ("SDMS"), which
is a combined software and services offering that enables
customers to migrate mainframe data from older technology
disk devices to Symmetrix 5000 systems while applications
remain online; and Symmetrix Enterprise Storage Platform
("Symmetrix ESP"), which enables a single system from the
Symmetrix 5000 family to simultaneously store both mainframe
and open systems data.
The Company's host-based software products provide
mainframe customers the ability to better manage their EMC
hardware environments. These products include the Symmetrix
Manager and SRDF Host Component software solutions.
The customers for the Company's products are located
worldwide and represent a cross section of industries and
government agencies that range in size from Fortune 1000
companies to small businesses, and national to local
governments. The Company markets its products worldwide
through its direct sales force, distributors and original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). During 1995, the Company
increased its direct sales capabilities by purchasing
certain assets of distributors and/or beginning direct sales
operations in the Nordic countries, South Africa and the
Asia Pacific region. All products sold directly to end users
are maintained and serviced by the Company or authorized
third party providers. Products sold through distributors or
OEMs are normally maintained by the resellers.
EMC, a Massachusetts corporation, was incorporated in
1979 and has its corporate headquarters located at 171 South
Street, Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
Company Strategy
The Company's objective is to be the industry's
independent storage solutions leader by providing hardware,
software and service products to the mainframe, open systems
and network computer storage markets. Part of the Company's
strategy is to differentiate its products by incorporating
features and functions that provide competitive advantage
for EMC customers. This differentiation has traditionally
been delivered through EMC's high performance and
availability storage products.
Innovative Architectural Design.
The Company has developed a common architecture, called
MOSAIC:2000, on which its principal products are based. This
architectural philosophy is based upon a modular design and
industry standard interfaces that allow new technologies to
be incorporated more rapidly than with traditional
architectures. This facilitates integration into a variety
of computer environments, and upgrade and enhancement
capabilities that extend the useful life of the Company's
storage systems and, potentially, customer's other computer-
related assets. This architectural design has enabled the
Company to expand its offerings in existing markets and has
enabled the Company to continue to enter new, strategic markets.
Proprietary Software Technology
A major strategic asset of the Company is the
proprietary software utilized to provide primary and
extended functionality for the Company's storage products.
This proprietary controller software provides significant
flexibility, enabling the Company to scale hardware
platforms for many customer application requirements. The
primary functionality provided by the controller-based
software provides advanced intelligence to the ICDA
architecture, integrating industry standard hardware
components, such as high speed cache memory, disk drives and
other devices to enhance the performance, reliability,
availability, connectivity and functionality of the
Company's storage systems.
Mainframe Market
The mainframe storage market is estimated to be a multi-
billion dollar market, which the Company has penetrated with
its ICDA-based products. Product sales to the mainframe
market represented approximately 76%, 88% and 82%,
respectively, of EMC's 1995, 1994 and 1993 product revenues.
In 1990, EMC introduced the first Symmetrix series for
the IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe storage market.
Symmetrix was the first commercially available intelligent
disk storage system for this marketplace that integrated
highly sophisticated controller software with large amounts
of cache memory and arrays of industry standard 5.25" (and
more recently, 3.5") disk drives. This combination continues
to provide customers with unique advantages and capabilities
including: high performance disk storage, operating system
independence for easy integration into existing computer
environments; built-in redundancy and availability features
allowing for higher data availability and continuous
operations; and small footprint and low environmental
requirements for low cost of ownership.
Since the first Symmetrix model, with a maximum
capacity of 24GB, the Company has continued to enhance and
increase the capabilities of the Symmetrix family. The
Company's current mainframe product offering is the
Symmetrix 5000 family which includes the 5100, 5200, and
5500 series of systems. The Symmetrix 5000 family members
share a common architecture and components, with the main
differentiator being capacity and host connectivity
capabilities. The Symmetrix 5100, 5200, and 5500 offer up to
136GB, 402GB, and 1 terabyte of mainframe storage capacity,
respectively. The Company believes that the Symmetrix 5000
family is the highest performance and availability mainframe
storage solution in the market.
A significant factor in Symmetrix market success has
been the unique controller-based software that all Symmetrix
5000 family members support. These include SRDF and SDMS as
business continuance solutions, Symmetrix ESP for
simultaneous support of mainframe and open systems
computers, and Multi-Path Locking Facility ("MPLF"), which
enhances transportation industry application support.
Additionally, EMC offers mainframe host-based software
products that improve the management of specific EMC systems
and products including Symmetrix Manager and SRDF Host
Component.
In March 1996, EMC entered a new segment of the
mainframe market with a unique solution for high capacity
applications that require disk-based storage and better
application response time than can be provided by
traditional offline storage offerings. EOS has defined a
new tier in the storage hierarchy, between traditional
online disk storage and offline storage, such as tape or
optical disk. EOS is targeted at specific business support
applications that previously had no appropriate storage
platform. EOS provides over one terabyte of maximum
capacity.
Open Systems Market
The open systems storage market is estimated to be a
multi-billion dollar market with extremely fast growth in
storage requirements, which EMC's products have only
recently begun to penetrate. The driving force behind this
growth is the focus on developing new customer applications
on open systems platforms. Unix and client/server
application developments continue to increase the storage
requirements for the many processing platforms available in
this market. Revenues to the open systems market
represented approximately 11% of EMC's product revenues in
1995.
The Company's first major product in this market was
the Centriplex family of ICDA products introduced in
November 1994. In June 1995, the Company introduced the
Symmetrix 3000 family for the open systems storage
marketplace. The Symmetrix 3000 family provides a unique
solution for the open systems marketplace, with high
performance and availability for mission and business
critical applications. The Symmetrix 3000 family includes
the 3100, 3200 and 3500 series of systems, which support up
to 139GB, 408GB, and 1 terabyte of open systems storage
capacity, respectively. The Symmetrix 3000 family also
supports the SRDF software for mission critical information
availability requirements.
HP and NCR, formerly AT&T Global Information Solutions,
signed agreements with EMC during 1995 to market and resell
the Symmetrix 3000 family of products worldwide into their
respective markets. See "OEM Channels".
IBM AS/400 Market
In 1992, the Company introduced the first ICDA-based
storage systems for the IBM AS/400 computer market, the
Harmonix family. The Harmonix family integrates cache
memory with both 5.25" and 3.5" disk drives to provide high
performance, high capacity storage solutions. During 1994,
the Company expanded the Harmonix family to include models
featuring high capacity at a lower cost, and models
emphasizing high availability. Revenues from the Harmonix
family declined during 1995, with product sales representing
approximately 5%, 10%, and 15%, respectively, of EMC product
revenue in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
During 1995, both the Symmetrix 5000 and Symmetrix 3000
families introduced support for the AS/400 computer environments.
EMC also offers the Voyager family of 8 millimeter
("mm") based Intelligent Cached Tape Subsystems, which
provide AS/400 users high capacity, high performance and
unattended backup capabilities. These products feature an
advanced controller design and cache buffer combined with
the ability to interleave data to up to four 8mm tape
transports simultaneously, greatly improving the speed of
backup operations. EMC's acquisition of Magna Computer
Corporation ("Magna") augmented the Voyager family by adding
4mm, additional 8mm, and reel-to-reel tape products to the
Company's portfolio.
Network Market
The network market is estimated to have extremely high
potential for storage requirements, which EMC's products
have only recently begun to penetrate. In 1995, product
sales to the network market represented 8% of EMC's product
revenue.
In 1995, the Company introduced Epoch Data Manager, the
Company's first network attached storage solution. In March
1996, the Company introduced EDM, a significant enhancement
of Epoch Data Manager. EDM is an integrated network storage
backup solution, with intelligent proprietary software
providing resource management to integrated disk and
automated tape library hardware components. EDM offers high
performance integrated network backup and recovery. In
addition, EDM is extremely scalable in both capacity and
performance, and is the leading solution for relational
database backup requirements.
EMC is currently engaging in research and development
of products for the network market in the areas of network
file access, video, centralized backup repository and other
network data access services.
In December 1995, the Company completed the acquisition
of McDATA Corporation ("McDATA"). McDATA designs,
manufactures, markets and supports high performance
information switching products, delivering innovative
networking solutions for large-scale computing applications,
including local, metropolitan and wide-area connectivity.
McDATA's primary product is the ESCON Director, a high-speed
fiber-optic-based network switch designed to connect
computers and peripherals within data center environments.
The ESCON Director is marketed by IBM under an exclusive OEM
agreement with McDATA. The Company believes that this
acquisition will help position EMC at the center of the
networked data and open systems marketplaces, thereby
permitting EMC to play an even more critical role in helping
EMC's customers establish information-centric computing
strategies.
Marketing and Customers
EMC markets its products through multiple distribution
channels, including its direct sales force, selected
distributors and OEMs. The Company has a direct sales
presence throughout North America, Europe, South Africa and
the Asia Pacific region and uses distributors as its primary
distribution channel in other areas of the world. Over the
past two years, the Company has expanded its sales and
marketing organizations significantly in all major
geographies of the world. In June 1995, EMC purchased
certain assets from its South African distributor and has
been selling direct in South Africa since that time. In
September 1995, EMC purchased certain assets from its
distributor in Sweden and has been selling direct in the
Nordic countries since that time.
During 1995, the Company derived 64% of its product
revenue from shipments into North and South America, 29%
from shipments into Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and
7% from shipments into the Asia Pacific region. The Company
has dedicated personnel to support the needs of its
customers in the mainframe, open systems and IBM AS/400
storage markets and also of its distributors and OEM
customers, both domestically and internationally.
The Company's strategy is to continue to expand its
markets in storage solutions. Specific targeted storage
markets include: the IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe
storage market, the open systems market, the network storage
market and the Bull and Unisys storage markets.
Multi-Channel Distribution Focus
The Company has adopted a multi-channel distribution
approach to sell its products in those large markets of the
world which the Company believes have a demand for its
products. The Company's distribution channels include a
direct sales force, distributors and OEMs.
OEM Channels
The MOSAIC:2000 architectural philosophy, and the
flexibility it provides, make EMC's products well suited for
sale by strategic OEMs in partnership with the Company. The
Company believes that with the new open systems capabilities
introduced in 1995, revenues from the OEM market will increase.
Since January 1992, EMC has had an OEM Agreement with
Unisys for the sale of Unisys-compatible Symmetrix systems.
Unisys maintains worldwide marketing rights to both the
Symmetrix and Modarray products for use with Unisys systems,
subject to certain terms and conditions.
In February 1993, the Company entered into an OEM
agreement with Bull. This agreement granted Bull exclusive
worldwide marketing rights, with the exception of Japan, to
EMC's Symmetrix 4800 series for use with Bull mainframe
computers as Bull's solution for all high speed disk
requirements. In June 1995, certain systems in the
Symmetrix 5000 family were added to this agreement. In
March 1996, the Company extended this agreement to add the
Symmetrix ESP.
On October 31, 1995, the Company entered into a
reseller agreement with HP wherein HP will market and resell
the Symmetrix 3000 family of systems worldwide for
connection to HP's 9000 series computers. The agreement
currently extends to June 30, 1997.
On November 2, 1995, the Company entered into an OEM
agreement with NCR to market and sell the Symmetrix 3000
family of systems under an NCR label worldwide for
connection to NCR's WorldMark brand of enterprise server
systems. The agreement currently extends to November 2, 1998.
Operations
EMC's products utilize the Company's engineering
designs, with industry standard and semi-custom components
and subsystems. EMC's products are assembled and tested
primarily at the Company's facilities in Massachusetts and
Cork, Ireland. Product components manufactured by
subcontractors in the U.S. and Europe are assembled in
accordance with production standards and quality controls
established by EMC. The Company believes its present level
of manufacturing capacity, along with its current plans for
expansion, will be sufficient to accommodate its requirements.
The Company has implemented a Total Quality Management
philosophy to ensure the quality of its designs,
manufacturing process and suppliers. The Company's
operations in Massachusetts currently hold an ISO 9001
Certificate of Registration from National Quality Assurance,
Ltd. This internationally recognized endorsement of ongoing
quality management represents the highest level of
certification available. The Company's Irish manufacturing
operation holds ISO 9002 registration. The Company's
principal manufacturing operation in Hopkinton,
Massachusetts has also been awarded Class A MRP II status by
an independent evaluation organization.
Manufacturing Risks
The Company's products operate near the limits of
electronic and physical performance and are designed and
manufactured with relatively small tolerances. If flaws in
design, production, assembly or testing occur on the part of
EMC or its suppliers, EMC may experience a rate of failure
in its products that results in substantial repair or
replacement costs and potential damage to EMC's reputation.
Continued improvement in manufacturing capabilities and
control of material and manufacturing quality and costs will
be critical factors in the future growth of EMC. EMC
frequently revises and updates manufacturing and test
processes to address engineering and component changes to
its products and evaluates the reallocation of manufacturing
resources among its facilities. There can be no assurance
that EMC's efforts to monitor, develop and implement
appropriate test and manufacturing processes for its
products, especially the Symmetrix series of products will
be sufficient to permit EMC to avoid a rate of failure in
its products that results in substantial delays in shipment,
repair or replacement costs and potential damage to EMC's
reputation, any of which could have substantial adverse
effects on EMC's operations and ultimately on its financial results.
The Company purchases certain components and products
from suppliers who the Company believes are currently the
only suppliers of those components or products that meet the
Company's requirements. Among the most important components
that the Company uses are high density memory components
("DRAMs") and 5.25" and 3.5" disk drives, which the Company
purchases from a small number of qualified suppliers. A
failure by any supplier of high density DRAMs or disk drives
to meet the Company's requirements for an extended period of
time could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
From time to time during 1995, because of high industry
demand and/or the inability of certain vendors to
consistently meet on a timely basis the Company's component
quality standards, the Company experienced delays in
deliveries of high density DRAMs and disk drives needed to
satisfy orders for ICDA products. The Company is currently
working with such vendors to correct these problems and is
also seeking alternative sources of supply. If shortages
and/or quality problems were to intensify, the Company could
lose some time-sensitive customer orders which could
adversely affect quarterly revenues and earnings.
Competition
In the mainframe market, EMC competes primarily with
IBM for the sale of the Company's storage products. The
Company believes that it has a number of competitive
advantages over IBM, especially in the areas of product
performance, value-added software capabilities, time to
market enhancements and cost of ownership. The Company
realizes that IBM has certain competitive advantages
including significantly greater financial and technological
resources, the ability to provide more complex hardware and
software in packaged solutions, a larger distribution
capability, access to high-level customer decision makers,
and high levels of customer loyalty. Other important
elements of competition in the computer storage industry are
product reliability and quality, continuing technological
improvements, marketing and customer service, and product
design. There are also a number of independent competitors
in the mainframe market including Hitachi Data Systems,
Storage Technology Corporation ("STK") and Amdahl Corporation.
In the open systems market the Company's major
competition is provided by systems vendors who integrate
internal disk devices within their CPU platforms, including
IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation and Sun Microsystems
Corporation. The Company believes that its major
independent storage competitor in this market is Data
General Corporation. In the Company's opinion, the major
competitive advantage of the open systems vendors is their
overall market presence and ability to provide integrated
CPU, storage and software packages. However, EMC believes
that it has advantages over these competitors in
performance, capacity and software features.
In the IBM AS/400 market, competition has historically
come from IBM, STK and smaller companies. IBM's market
presence and its integrated solutions afford IBM a
significant advantage in this marketplace. With regard to
independent storage providers, EMC believes that it has
advantages over these AS/400 competitors in performance,
availability and feature capabilities.
Technological Factors
The computer data storage industry is characterized by
rapidly changing technology and user needs which require
ongoing technological development and introduction of new
products. Recognizing this fact, the Company developed a
storage system architecture called MOSAIC:2000 to allow the
Company to take better advantage of technological
developments. By employing this architectural approach to
product development, EMC is able to quickly integrate new
technologies into its basic design. The Company works
closely with its suppliers to understand their technology
direction and to plan for the integration of this technology
into its product architecture. The Symmetrix series, the
Harmonix series and the Centriplex family of products all
use the MOSAIC:2000 architecture.
In 1995, sales of the Symmetrix series remained the
most significant source of revenues for the Company and
sales of such products are expected to continue to be the
principal source of revenues during 1996. The Company
expects competition in the sales of ICDA-based products to
increase and there can be no assurance that the Symmetrix
series of products will continue to achieve market
acceptance. Significant delays in the development of ICDA
technology for future products or product enhancements would
be to the advantage of the Company's competitors, some of
whom have significantly greater resources, and could
ultimately affect the Company's financial condition.
Furthermore, the continued development of ICDA technology
and its incorporation into the Company's future generations
of products cannot be assured even with significant
additional investments.
Product Development
EMC's ability to compete successfully in present and
future markets depends upon the timely development and
introduction of products offering price/performance or
capacity advantages and compatibility with the computer
systems or networks for which they are designed. Achieving
these goals requires that the Company remain abreast of
changing technology and design products that operate within
the architecture of various computer systems and deliver
performance or capacity advantages not offered by the
original systems developer or by other storage competitors.
Moreover, the computer industry is subject to rapid
technological developments. Consequently, achieving such
goals may become more difficult, costly and time consuming
as a result of technological developments that cannot now be
foreseen. Research and development costs were $162,611,000,
$117,922,000, and $58,977,000 for the fiscal years ended
December 30, 1995, December 31, 1994, and January 1, 1994,
respectively.
Backlog
The Company manufactures its products on the basis of
its forecast of near-term demand and maintains inventory in
advance of receipt of firm orders from customers. Orders
are generally shipped by the Company shortly after receipt
of the order. Customers may reschedule orders with little
or no penalty. For these reasons, the Company's backlog at
any particular time is not necessarily indicative of future
sales levels.
Employees
As of February 29, 1996, EMC had approximately 4,100
employees worldwide including temporary employees.
Continued growth in the Company's business will require the
hiring of additional personnel qualified in the Company's
leading edge technology, of which there can be no assurance.
None of the Company's domestic employees is represented by a
labor union, and the Company has never suffered an
interruption of business as a result of a labor dispute.
The Company considers its relations with its employees to be
good.
Dependence Upon Key Personnel
The Company's success is highly dependent upon senior
management and other key employees, the loss of whom could
adversely affect the Company. The Company also believes
that its future success will depend in large part upon its
ability to attract and retain additional key employees, of
which there can be no assurance.
Environment
The Company's manufacturing facilities are subject to
numerous laws and regulations designed to protect the
environment, particularly from wastes generated as a result
of assembling certain EMC products. The cost of compliance
with such regulations has not to date involved a significant
expense or had a material effect on the capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.
Patents
EMC has been granted and/or owns by assignment over
fifty (50) United States patents. The Company also has over
one hundred (100) patent applications pending in the U.S.
relating to its products for the mainframe, midrange, open
systems and network storage markets. While the Company
believes that the pending applications relate to patentable
devices or concepts, there can be no assurance that any
patents will issue or that any patent issued can be
successfully defended or held valid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, or that such patents will provide protection
against competitive technology that circumvents such
patents. Although the Company believes that its patents and
applications have significant value, the rapidly changing
technology of the computer industry makes EMC's future
success dependent upon the technical competence and creative
skills of its personnel rather than on patent protection.
See also "Recent Developments" and "Legal Proceedings".
Earnings Fluctuations
Due to (i) customers' tendencies to make purchase
decisions late in each fiscal quarter, (ii) the desire by
customers to evaluate new, more expensive products for
longer periods of time, (iii) the timing of product and
technology announcements by the Company and its competitors,
and (iv) fluctuating currency exchange rates, the Company's
period-to-period revenues and earnings can fluctuate
significantly.
Recent Developments
On January 25, 1996, the Company announced that its
Board of Directors had authorized a common stock repurchase
program of up to 15 million shares over a five-year period.
The repurchased shares will be used primarily to issue
shares upon exercise of options and purchase of shares under
the Company's stock option and stock purchase plans,
respectively.
On February 12, 1996, the Company announced that it had
signed a definitive agreement to acquire the patent
portfolio of MTI Technology Corporation, covering 29 patents
and pending applications in the areas of RAID (Redundant
Arrays of Independent Disks), fault tolerant and network
technologies.

offices and certain research and development facilities worldwide.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 10, 1993, STK filed suit against EMC in the
United States District Court for the District of Colorado
alleging that EMC is infringing three patents. In the
complaint, STK seeks injunctive relief, unspecified damages,
including treble damages, plus attorney's fees and costs.
On July 20, 1993, EMC answered the complaint, denied STK's
allegations and counterclaimed. In the counterclaims, EMC
seeks unspecified damages, attorney's fees, costs and
interest. In a court hearing on October 12, 1994, STK's
claims on two of the three patents were dismissed with
prejudice. No trial date has been set in this proceeding.
On September 23, 1994, EMC filed suit against STK in
the United States District Court for Delaware alleging that
STK is infringing one EMC patent. In the complaint, EMC
seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages, including
treble damages, plus attorney's fees and costs. On October
12, 1994, STK answered the complaint, denied any
infringement and counterclaimed. STK has subsequently filed
an additional counterclaim. EMC has denied STK's
allegations. Discovery on this case is currently in
process. A trial is currently scheduled for October 1996.
The Company is a party to other litigation which it
considers routine and incidental to its business.
Management does not expect the results of any of these
actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business or financial condition.

Revenues
Total revenues increased by $543,783,000, or 39.5%, in
1995 from 1994 compared to an increase of $594,871,000 or
76% in 1994 from 1993. Revenues from net sales increased by
$535,150,000 or 39.8%, in 1995 from 1994 levels, while
revenues from service and rental income increased by
$8,633,000, or 25%, in 1995 from 1994. While the Company
expects revenue to continue to grow in 1996, the Company
does not expect such growth, on a percentage basis, to
continue at the level experienced in 1995 or 1994.
In 1995, the Company continued to derive the majority
of its revenues from the sale of products featuring the
Company's Integrated Cached Disk Array ("ICDA") technology
which include the Symmetrix series of products for the
mainframe market, the Symmetrix 3000 series of products and
Centriplex series of products for the open systems storage
market and the Harmonix series of IBM compatible disk
products in the AS/400 market. Revenues from the Symmetrix
series of products in the mainframe market were
$1,425,531,000 in 1995, $1,177,014,000 in 1994 and
$620,178,000 in 1993, representing an increase in 1995 over
1994 of $248,517,000, or 21%. Revenues from the Company"s
products in the open systems storage market were
$200,892,000 in 1995, $24,323,000 in 1994 and $19,081,000
in 1993, representing an increase in 1995 over 1994 of
$176,569,000, or 726%. Revenues from the Harmonix series of
products were $68,402,000 in 1995, $110,717,000 in 1994 and
$92,672,000 in 1993, representing a decrease in 1995 from
1994 of $42,315,000, or 38%.
Revenues on sales and service into the markets of North
and South America increased by $357,496,000, or 41%, to
$1,223,183,000 in 1995 from $865,687,000 in 1994. This
increase was primarily due to growth in unit sales of the
Symmetrix series of products in the mainframe storage market
and unit sales of the Company's products in the open systems
storage market. Revenues into this market increased by
$346,750,000, or 67%, to $865,687,000 in 1994 from
$518,937,000 in 1993.
Revenues on sales and service into the markets of
Europe, Africa and the Middle East increased by
$116,789,000, or 27%, to $556,313,000 in 1995 from
$439,524,000 in 1994, due primarily to growth in unit sales
of the Symmetrix series of products in the mainframe storage
market. During 1995, the Company opened sales offices in
South Africa, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Revenues
into this market increased by $213,291,000, or 94%, to
$439,524,000 in 1994 from $226,233,000 in 1993.
Revenues on sales and service into the markets in the
Asia Pacific region increased by $69,498,000 or 96%, to
$141,779,000 in 1995 from $72,281,000 in 1994, primarily due
to growth in unit sales of the Symmetrix series of products
in the mainframe storage market. During 1995, the Company
opened sales offices in Korea and Singapore. Revenues into
this market increased by $34,830,000, or 93%, to $72,281,000
in 1994 from $37,451,000 in 1993.
Worldwide revenue data presented in the segment
footnote shows revenues on shipments originating from each
area as follows. Revenues on shipments from the North and
South America region were $1,230,223,000 in 1995,
$871,048,000 in 1994 and $526,771,000 in 1993. Revenues on
shipments from the Europe, Middle East and Africa region
were $567,303,000 in 1995, $449,467,000 in 1994 and
$251,363,000 in 1993. Revenues on shipments from the Asia
Pacific region were $123,749,000 in 1995, $56,977,000 in
1994 and $4,487,000 in 1993.
Historically, the Company has competed with OEM
manufacturers and other independent suppliers on the basis
of product performance, quality and price. The Company
expects that there will be performance and pricing pressures
with respect to the sale of its products throughout 1996.
See also "Cost of Sales and Service".
The Company purchases certain components and products
from suppliers who the Company believes are currently the
only suppliers of those components or products that meet the
Company's requirements. Among the most important components
that the Company uses are high density memory components
("DRAMs") and 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" disk drives, which the
Company purchases from a small number of qualified
suppliers. A failure by any supplier of high density DRAMs
or disk drives to meet the Company's requirements for an
extended period of time could have a material adverse effect
on the Company. From time to time, because of high industry
demand and/or the inability of certain vendors to
consistently meet on a timely basis the Company's component
quality standards, the Company experienced delays in
deliveries of high density DRAMs and disk drives needed to
satisfy orders for ICDA products. The Company is currently
working with such vendors to correct these problems and is
also seeking alternative sources of supply. If shortages
and quality problems were to intensify, the Company could
lose some time-sensitive customer orders which could
adversely affect quarterly revenues and earnings.
Cost of Sales and Service
As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales and service
amounted to 52.2% in 1995, 47.9% in 1994 and 48.7% in 1993.
Demand for the Company's products has continued in 1995, but
competitive pricing pressures in the mainframe storage
market during 1995 were greater than in prior years and
adversely affected the margin percent in 1995 over 1994 and
1993. Also in 1995, cost of goods sold included one-time
charges of approximately $31,000,000, net of tax, relating
to end-of-life products and excess inventory. The Company
believes that pricing pressures are likely to continue due
to competitive product offerings.
Research and Development
Research and development ("R&D") expenses were
$162,611,000, $117,922,000 and $58,977,000 in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, R&D
expenses were 8.5%, 8.6% and 7.5% of revenues in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. Dollar increases in R&D spending in
1995 over 1994 reflect costs to develop new products for the
open systems storage market, the cost of additional
technical staff and depreciation expenses associated with
capital equipment acquired to facilitate development. The
Company expects to continue to spend substantial amounts for
R&D in 1996.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses
increased by $71,005,000, or 28.5%, in 1995, $86,543,000, or
53% in 1994 and $66,200,000, or 69% in 1993. As a percentage
of revenues, SG&A expenses were 16.7%, 18.1% and 20.8% in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The dollar increase in
1995 over 1994 is due primarily to costs associated with
additional sales and support personnel and their related
overhead costs, both domestically and internationally, in
connection with the Company's increased revenue levels and
the Company's initiative to expand its open systems storage
group, international direct selling offices and OEM
programs. Expenses in 1995 also include approximately
$8,000,000 of costs related to the acquisition of McDATA.
SG&A expenses are expected to increase in dollar terms
during 1996.
Investment Income and Interest Expense
Investment income increased to $23,620,000 in 1995 from
$21,619,000 in 1994 and $7,988,000 in 1993. Interest income
was earned from investments in cash equivalents and long-
term investments and, to a lesser extent, from sales-type
leases of the Company's products. Investment income
increased in 1995 over 1994 primarily due to slightly higher
average cash and investment balances in 1995 over 1994.
Investment income increased in 1994 over 1993 due to higher
average cash and investment balances caused primarily by the
availability of funds from the issuance of the 4 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2001 (the "Notes") in
December 1993 and January 1994.
Interest expense decreased to $12,857,000 in 1995, from
$15,311,000 in 1994 and $6,043,000 in 1993. The decrease in
1995 from 1994 is primarily due to conversions of the 6 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2002 (the
"Debentures") in March 1995.
Provision for Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $123,976,000 in
1995, $104,716,000 in 1994 and $52,534,000 in 1993,
respectively, which resulted in effective tax rates of
27.5%, 29.5% and 29.2% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The decrease in the effective tax rate in 1995 from 1994 is
mainly attributable to the realization of tax benefits
associated with the Company's tax strategies and the
utilization of tax credits. The increased rate in 1994 from
1993 is mainly attributable to a decrease in the utilization
of tax credits.
See Note C of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for a detailed analysis of the Company's
effective tax rates for 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Cash Flows
In 1995 cash and cash equivalents increased by
$139,122,000. Cash provided by operating activities was
$172,378,000 as a result of increased net income which was
partially offset by increased receivable and inventory
balances. Cash used by investing activities was $41,806,000
primarily caused by additions to property, plant and
equipment of $92,200,000, offset by net maturities of long-
term investments of $50,355,000. Cash provided by financing
activities of $8,833,000 was primarily from issuances of
common stock of $19,438,000 pursuant to stock option
exercises and stock purchase plan activity and was partially
offset by payments of long-term obligations of $10,735,000.
Financial Position
At the end of the fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993,
cash and cash equivalents were $379,628,000, $240,506,000
and $345,300,000, respectively. In 1995, working capital
increased by $359,254,000 to $959,595,000 from $600,341,000.
In 1994, working capital increased by $83,465,000 to
$600,341,000 from $516,876,000.
It is typical for companies in the computer industry to
require significant amounts of working capital to finance
their business. The Company believes that its working
capital requirements are in accordance with industry
practices. In 1995, the Company financed its working
capital requirements from internally generated funds and
existing cash and investments. As the Company's business
expands, the Company's working capital is expected to
increase.
As of January 31, 1996, the Company had available for
use its credit lines of $72,000,000. The Company may elect
to borrow at any time from these credit lines. Based on its
current operating and capital expenditure forecasts, the
Company believes funds currently available, funds generated
from operations and its available lines of credit will be
adequate to finance its operations.
In December 1995, the Company issued 13,567,112 shares
of EMC common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock") in
the acquisition of McDATA, a leader in data network
switching solutions, in a transaction which the Company has
accounted for as a pooling of interests.
The Company will adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.121 "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of" in 1996. This Statement requires recognition
of impairment losses pertaining to long-term assets based
upon the excess of the carrying amount of such assets over
their fair values. The Company believes that adoption will
not have a material effect on its financial statements.
The Company will adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" in 1996. This Statement defines a fair value-
based method of accounting for employee stock options. The
compensation expense arising from this method of accounting
can be reflected in the financial statements or
alternatively, the pro forma net income and earnings per
share effect of the fair value-based accounting can be
disclosed in the financial statement footnotes. The Company
expects to adopt the footnote disclosure alternative.
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the
Company's financial results.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of EMC
Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets and the financial statement schedule of
EMC Corporation as of December 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994, and the related consolidated statements of income,
cash flows and stockholders' equity and the financial
statement schedule for each of the three years in the
period ended December 30, 1995. These financial
statements and the financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the financial statement schedule
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of EMC Corporation as of
December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December
30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedule referred to above, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be included therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EMC Corporation
A. Company
EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries ("EMC" or the
"Company") design, manufacture, market and support a
wide range of storage-related hardware, software and
service products for the mainframe, open systems, IBM
AS/400 and network computer storage markets worldwide.
These products are sold as storage solutions for
customers utilizing a variety of computer system
platforms including, but not limited to, International
Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") and IBM-
compatible mainframe, Unisys Corporation ("Unisys"),
Compagnie des Machines Bull S.A. ("Bull"), Hewlett-
Packard Company ("HP"), NCR Corporation ("NCR") and
other open systems platforms.
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the 1995 presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
Acquisitions
In December 1995, EMC exchanged 13,567,112 shares of
EMC common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock")
for all of the outstanding stock and stock options
exercisable as of the closing date of McDATA
Corporation ("McDATA"), a leader in data network
switching solutions. The business combination was
accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
accompanying financial statements for periods prior to
1995 do not include the amounts for this acquisition as
they were deemed to be immaterial. Only 1995 financial
information has been restated as if the transaction had
occurred as of January 1, 1995.
Separate company results for 1995 before the
combinations were consummated were:
Period ended December 6, 1995
Revenues Net Income
EMC $1,402,059,000 $197,303,000
McDATA 148,253,000 41,748,000
Total $1,550,312,000 $239,051,000
Also during 1995, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Icon International, Inc. (now EMC
Computer Systems California, Inc.) and purchased
certain assets from its distributors in South Africa
and Sweden. These transactions resulted in goodwill of
$9,215,000 which is being amortized over five years and
is included in other assets, non-current at December
30, 1995, net of amortization of $1,231,000.
In January 1994, the Company formed a joint venture,
EMC Japan K.K. ("EMC Japan"), with a Japanese
distributor in which the Company's interest was 60%.
Subsequently, the Company purchased an additional 35%
interest in EMC Japan resulting in goodwill of
$8,971,000 which is included in other assets, non-
current at December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, net
of amortization of $1,955,000 and $150,000,
respectively, and is being amortized over five years.
Also in 1994, the Company acquired a 93% interest in
Copernique S.A. ("Copernique") which specializes in
high performance data management and hardware and
software systems, and the Company acquired certain
assets of Array Technology Corporation ("Array") which
specialized in RAID ("Redundant Arrays of Independent
Disks") technology. The Company acquired the remaining
7% interest in Copernique in March 1995. Included in
the Array assets were patents of $7,272,000 which are
being amortized over their estimated useful life of
five years, and are included in other assets, non-
current at December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 net
of amortization of $2,666,000 and $1,212,000,
respectively.
Pro forma presentations have not been included as the
acquisitions were not material to the results of
operations of the Company.
In August 1993, EMC exchanged 9,443,996 shares of
Common Stock for all the outstanding stock and stock
options of Epoch Systems, Inc. ("Epoch") and Magna
Computer Corp. ("Magna") in business combinations which
were accounted for as poolings of interests. All
financial information has been restated as if the
transactions occurred as of the first period presented.
Epoch is in the business of high performance
client/server data management software and Magna was in
the business of IBM compatible AS/400 tape products.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from sales when products
are shipped provided there are no remaining significant
vendor obligations and the resulting receivable is
deemed collectible by management. Revenue from rentals
is recorded over the life of the lease. Revenue from
sales-type leases is recognized at the net present
value of expected future payments, and the resulting
discount is accreted to investment income over the
collection period. Revenue from service contracts is
recognized over the life of the contracts.
Foreign Currency Translation
The local currency is the functional currency of sales
operations in Canada, Europe, South Africa and the Asia
Pacific region (except Hong Kong). Assets and
liabilities of these operations are translated into
U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance
sheet date and income and expense items are translated
at average rates for the period. The Company's
operations in Ireland, Israel and Hong Kong are
generally dependent on the U.S. dollar. Assets and
liabilities of these operations are translated into
U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance
sheet date except for inventories and property, plant
and equipment which are translated at historical
exchange rates. Consolidated transaction results
included in other income/(expense), net were gains of
$1,667,000 in 1995, and losses of $1,072,000 in 1994
and $1,838,000 in 1993. Accumulated net translation
adjustments included in stockholders' equity were
$3,766,000 in 1995 and $3,716,000 in 1994.
Cash, Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include $168,614,000 and $134,954,000
of cash equivalents at December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively. All highly liquid investments which have
a maturity when acquired of ninety days or less are
considered cash equivalents. These investments are
stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market.
Long-Term Investments
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" in 1994.
The adoption of SFAS 115 had no cumulative effect on
net income.
Long-term investments at amortized cost, consisting
primarily of intermediate term debt instruments,
amounted to $125,276,000 and $175,631,000 in 1995 and
1994, with fair values of $126,285,000 and
$173,245,000, respectively. The Company classifies its
long-term investments as held to maturity. The 1995
balances consisted of:

Total $175,631,000 $173,245,000
The net unrealized gain of $1,009,000 at December 30, 1995
consisted of gross unrealized gains of $1,372,000 and gross
unrealized losses of $363,000. The contractual maturities of
debt securities held at December 30, 1995 are as follows:
Amortized Aggregate

The net unrealized loss of $2,386,000 at December 31, 1994 consisted
of gross unrealized gains of $444,000 and gross unrealized losses of
$2,830,000. The contractual maturities of debt securities held at

Due after ten years 1,738,000 1,756,000
Total $175,631,000 $173,245,000
Investment income consists principally of interest and
dividend income, including interest on notes receivable
from sales-type leases.
Statement of Cash Flows Supplemental Information
December 30, December 31, January 1,
1995 1994 1994
Cash paid during the
years ended for:
Income taxes $70,389,000 $76,539,000 $59,739,000
Interest 12,965,000 10,854,000 6,486,000
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in,
first out) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Equipment 3-7 years
Vehicles 5 years
Improvements 5 years
Buildings 25-31 1/2 years
Customer service spare parts inventory is included in
equipment and depreciated over three years.
When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the
accounts and the related gains or losses are included
in operations.
Warranty and Research and Development
The Company accounts for warranty expense on an accrual
basis. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred, except for the costs of computer software to
be sold, leased or otherwise marketed incurred after
technological feasibility has been established and
prior to product release for production. In 1995, the
Company capitalized approximately $5,000,000 of
software development costs, which amount is included
in other assets, non-current at December 30, 1995.
These expenses are being amortized on a straight-line
basis over a twenty-four month period. In prior years,
costs qualifying for capitalization were not material.
The current year reflects an increased level of
investment in software development activities over
prior years.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have
been included in the financial statements or tax
returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse (see Note C).
Tax credits are generally recognized as reductions of
income tax provisions in the year in which the credits
arise. Since 1989, the Company has not provided for
U.S. income tax liability on earnings of its foreign
subsidiaries, except for Puerto Rico. These earnings
of non-U.S. subsidiaries, which reflect full provision
for non-U.S. income taxes, are indefinitely reinvested
in non-U.S. operations or will be remitted
substantially free of additional tax. Accordingly, no
material provision has been made for taxes that might
be payable upon remittance of such non-U.S. earnings.
The Company is currently undergoing an examination of
its 1992, 1993 and 1994 tax returns by the Internal
Revenue Service.
Net Income Per Share
Net income per share was computed on the basis of
weighted average common and dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding. Primary and fully diluted weighted
average shares outstanding and earnings used in per
share computations for 1995, 1994 and 1993 reflect the
dilutive effects of the Company's 4 1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2001 (the "Notes"). Fully
diluted weighted average shares outstanding and
earnings used in per share computations for 1995, 1994
and 1993 reflect the dilutive effects of the Company's
6 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2002
(the "Debentures"). Net income for computation of
earnings per share includes an add back of $6,224,000,
$7,620,000 and $2,496,000 for fully diluted and
$5,855,000, $5,838,000 and $224,000 for primary, in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, representing
interest expense, net of its tax effect. Primary
weighted average shares were 245,386,209, 218,045,666
and 196,486,160 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Fully diluted weighted average shares were 248,296,143,
234,254,640 and 217,224,726 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. These calculations of weighted average
shares have been restated to reflect all stock splits
to date (see Note J).

The Company's Puerto Rico operation enjoyed a ten year
exemption which expired in 1995, on up to 90% of EMC
Caribe's income as a result of the Company's Grant of
Industrial Tax Exemption issued by the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico. EMC Caribe ceased manufacturing operations
in February 1994. The Company's manufacturing facility
in Ireland incurs a 10% tax rate on income from
manufacturing operations until the year 2000.
The components of the current and non-current deferred
tax assets and liabilities as of December 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994 were as follows:
Current Deferred Tax Assets/(Liabilities) 1995 1994

Total Non-Current Deferred
Tax Assets/(Liabilities) $9,200,000 $4,473,000
In 1994, due to the uncertainty surrounding the
realization of certain favorable tax attributes in
future returns, the Company placed a valuation reserve
against otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets. In
1995, the valuation reserve has been reduced because
the realization of some of these tax attributes is more
likely than not. The valuation reserve has also
decreased due to the utilization of some of the foreign
and domestic net operating losses.
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards as of
December 30, 1995 which are summarized as follows:
Carryforward period
Approximate value during which losses
Country in U.S. dollars will expire
France $17,259,000 5 years/1996 - 1999
Hong Kong 82,000 Indefinite
Japan 837,000 5 years/1999 - 2000
United States 7,943,000 15 Years/2002 - 2008
The U.S. losses relate to the pre-acquisition losses of Epoch and
Magna. The losses in France relate to Copernique, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of EMC; approximately $11,296,000 are remaining
pre-acquisition losses and $5,963,000 are losses generated in 1994.

The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" in 1996. This Statement
requires recognition of impairment losses pertaining to
long-term assets based upon the excess of the carrying
amount of such assets over their fair values. The
Company believes that adoption will not have a material
effect on its financial statements.
G. Accrued Expenses

H. Employee Compensation Plans
In 1983, the Company initiated a profit-sharing plan
(the "1983 Plan") for employees, whose eligibility to
participate is based on certain service requirements.
Contributions are made at the discretion of the Board
of Directors.
Other than matching contributions to the 401(k) plans,
as described below, no profit-sharing contributions
were made in 1995, 1994 or 1993.
In July 1985, the Company supplemented the 1983 Plan
with a deferred compensation program for certain
employees. Under the program, which is qualified under
Section 401(k) of federal tax laws, the Company has
provided a matching contribution, as described below.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company introduced a new
matching formula for the 1983 Plan. The Company
intends, at the end of each calendar quarter, to make a
contribution that matches 100% of the employee's
contribution up to a maximum of 2% of the employee's
quarterly compensation. Additionally, provided that
certain quarterly profit goals are attained, the
Company in succeeding quarters, will provide an
additional matching contribution of 1% of the
employee's quarterly compensation up to a maximum
quarterly matching contribution not to exceed 5% of
compensation. However, the Company's matching
contribution per participant has a quarterly limit of
$500. The Company's contribution amounted to
approximately $3,124,000 in 1995, $2,277,000 in 1994
and $1,463,000 in 1993, pursuant to the previous formula.
In 1994, the Epoch and Magna retirement savings plans
were merged into the 1983 Plan.
The Company does not offer a worldwide postretirement
or postemployment benefit plan other than plans that
exist in certain foreign subsidiaries as required by law.
McDATA has a profit sharing plan to which the
contribution was $728,000 in 1995.
I. Lease Commitments, Financial Instruments and Long-Term Obligations
Operating Lease Commitments
The Company leases office and warehouse facilities under
various operating leases. Facilities rent expense amounted to
$11,095,000, $10,277,000, and $6,050,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The Company's commitments under its operating leases
are as follows:
Operating
Fiscal Year Leases
1996 $30,218,000
1997 17,255,000
1998 9,979,000
1999 2,520,000
2000 755,000
Thereafter 393,000
Total minimum lease payments $61,120,000
Current Obligations and Lines of Credit
EMC has two lines of credit providing a maximum of
$50,000,000 and $15,000,000, respectively, at LIBOR
plus 45 basis points and 62.5 basis points, respectively.
McDATA has a line of credit providing a maximum of $7,000,000.
At December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, there were no
borrowings outstanding against these credit lines. The Company
must maintain certain minimum financial ratios including a minimum
level of working capital and tangible net worth under
each line of credit. At December 31, 1994, $8,427,000
was borrowed against the Company's overdraft facility at 6.4%.
Financial Instruments
In December 1993, the Company issued $200,000,000 of
Notes. In January 1994, the Company issued an
additional $29,600,000 of Notes in accordance with
overallotment provisions of the offering. The Notes
are generally convertible into shares of Common Stock
of the Company at a conversion price of $19.84 per
share, subject to adjustment in certain events. During
1994, $2,000 of notes were converted. Interest is
payable semiannually and the Notes are redeemable at
the option of the Company at set redemption prices,
plus accrued interest, commencing January 1, 1997.
Redemption prices range from 100.61% to 102.43% of principal.
In March 1992, the Company issued $60,000,000 of
Debentures, of which $39,535,000, $19,724,000 and
$740,000 were converted during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, and $1,000 was redeemed on April 1, 1995.
The Debentures were generally convertible at any time
prior to maturity into shares of Common Stock of the
Company at a conversion price of $3.063 per share,
subject to adjustment in certain events. Interest was
paid semiannually.
The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated
balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, current portion of long term debt, and
accounts payable approximate fair value due to the
short maturities of these instruments. The fair value
for the Notes is based upon the December 30, 1995
prices on the New York Bond Exchange.

1994 and $312,000 in 1995 towards the purchase price
and improvements to the Company's facility in Ireland.

in building improvements and seven years for funds used
to purchase equipment. Remaining unamortized grants at
December 30, 1995 are $2,347,000, of which $196,000 is

J. Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Stock Options
Common Stock
At the Annual Meetings of the Company in 1995 and 1993,
the stockholders approved amendments to the Company's
Articles of Organization to increase the number of
shares of authorized Common Stock. The current
authorization is 500,000,000 shares.
The following stock splits were effected in the form of
stock dividends in the following amounts and at the
following dates: a three-for-two stock split effective
November 24, 1992, for stockholders of record on
November 9, 1992, a two-for-one stock split effective
June 8, 1993, for stockholders of record on May 24,
1993, and a two-for-one stock split effective December
10, 1993, for stockholders of record on November 26, 1993.
All share and per share data have been restated to
reflect these splits.
Preferred Stock
At the Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company
on November 17, 1993, the stockholders approved an
amendment to the Company's Articles of Organization to
authorize a new class of capital stock consisting of
25,000,000 shares of Series Preferred Stock, $.01 par
value, which may be issued from time to time in one or
more series, with such terms as the Board of Directors
may determine, without further action by the
stockholders of the Company, except as may be required
by applicable law or stock exchange rules.
Stock Options
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", ("SFAS 123") which requires adoption of
the disclosure provisions no later than fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995 and adoption of the
recognition and measurement provisions for non-employee
transactions no later than December 15, 1995. The new
standard defines a fair value method of accounting for
stock options and other equity instruments. Under the
fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the
grant date based on the fair value of the award and is
recognized over the service period, which is usually
the vesting period.
Pursuant to the new standard, companies are encouraged,
but are not required, to adopt the fair value method of
accounting for employee stock-based transactions.
Companies are also permitted to continue to account for
such transactions under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("Opinion 25") but would be required to
disclose in a note to the financial statements pro
forma net income and, if presented, earnings per share
as if the company had applied the new method of
accounting. The Company anticipates that it will
continue to apply Opinion 25 for stock options and
provide the note disclosure under SFAS 123 beginning in
its year ended December 28, 1996.
The Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the EMC
Corporation 1993 and 1985 Stock Option Plans (the "1993
Plan" and the "1985 Plan", respectively) to provide
qualified incentive stock options and nonqualified
stock options to key employees. At the Annual Meeting
of the Company on May 10, 1995, the stockholders
approved an amendment to the 1993 Plan to increase the
number of shares available to 8,000,000 shares from
6,000,000 shares. A total of 36,000,000 shares of
Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the
1985 Plan.
Under the terms of the 1993 and 1985 Plans the exercise
price of incentive stock options issued must be equal to
at least the fair market value of the Common Stock at the
date of grant. In the event that nonqualified stock
options are granted under the 1993 Plan, the exercise
price may be less than the fair market value at the time
of grant but not less than par value which is $.01 per
share. In the event that nonqualified stock options are
granted under the 1985 Plan, the exercise price may be
less than the fair market value at the time of grant, but
in the case of employees not subject to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section 16") no less
than par value which is $.01 per share, and in the case of
employees subject to Section 16, no less than 50% of the
fair market value at the time of grant. In general,
options become exercisable in equal annual installments
over the first five years after the date of grant.
As of December 30, 1995, options exercisable under the
1993 and 1985 Plans approximated 2,461,050 and shares
available for future options amounted to 4,072,828. Since
May 16, 1995, no new incentive stock option has been able
to be granted under the 1985 Plan. Activity under the
1993 and 1985 Plans for the three years ended December 30,
1995 is as follows:

In 1994, an employee of the Company was granted nonqualified
options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock under the
1993 Plan at $9.94 per share, representing 50% of the per share
fair market value at the date of the grant. Discounts from
fair market value have been recorded as deferred compensation
and are being charged to earnings over the five year vesting
period of the options.
Generally, when shares acquired pursuant to the exercise
of incentive stock options are sold within one year of
exercise or within two years from the date of grant, the
Company derives a tax deduction measured by the amount
that the market value exceeds the option price at the
date the options are exercised. When nonqualified stock
options are exercised, the Company derives a tax
deduction measured by the amount that the market
